Wedding flats that kick ass [UPDATED for 2022!]

Every few months I take a break from the pumps that I love to look at and instead feature the flats that we all love to walk in. Brides have all sorts of reasons for wearing flats, from comfort-hounds who don’t want to end their wedding day with blisters, to taller brides who don’t want to tower over their partners.

Whatever your reasons for eschewing high heeled shoes on your wedding day, I’ve got options for you that are just as loud and funky and “Wait, did she really think someone would wear that to their wedding!?” as my shoe posts always are. Let’s get freaky flat, shall we?

Joanna & Julian’s book-themed bilingual pub wedding

These two celebrated their love of lit with book centerpieces, comics and books table numbers, portraits from comic artists, and a giant book card box. They even made origami flowers from comic pages. But to spice things up, they had an awesome swing number for their first dance.

Julia & Kory’s casual rock ‘n’ roll sideshow wedding

An indestructible bride and her zombie rocker dude create “the world’s strangest married couple.” Creepy magicians, Sno-Cones, and a ton of duct tape will keep this couple stuck togetha foreva.

Skull shoes for your Halloween wedding, or just because

I figure that some of you are planning your Halloween weddings. And, well, even if you’re NOT planning a Halloween wedding, others of you might just like punk-flavored skull shoes peeking out from beneath the hem of your gown.

So I went hunting for skull shoes and you know what? It’s interesting because they’re either, like, novelty shoe dirt cheap or haute couture stupid expensive. As always with my shoe posts, I offer you both ends of the spectrum all mixed together and without commentary.
